Heaven On Earth


The Rep

Recommended Posts

"Heaven On Earth" a new album by James Carter - Soprano Tenor & Baritone Saxes, John Medeski - Hammond B3, Christian McBride - Basses, Adam Roger - Guitars, Joey Barron - Drums.

Tracks are: 1- Diminishing, 2- Slam's Mishap, 3- Street Of Dreams, 4- Infiniment, 5- Blue Leo, 6- Heaven On Earth.

The album is what you would expect from such a line up, it certainly brighten my weekend. Good musicians having a lot of fun. Medeski, McBride and Barren are a hell of rhythm section and Rogers adds depth to this. Some really nice solo's from Medeski and Rogers too. Then you have Carter doing what he does best, a swaggering confident sax player with incredible abbility.

Carter fans will love this album, probably his best in the last couple of years. Great sound from his screeching baritone on Leo Parkers "Blue Leo" and some fantastic soprano work on Larry Young's "Heaven On Earth". Recorde live at the Blue Note NY, it has a good atmosphere with some audiance whooping and yelling. Not a technical revelation but a straight ahead jazz recording.

The Rep.
